Transparencies in this installation/performance were found or acquired in several parts of the world. They’re mainly vernacular photographs from unknown creators, which will be mixed with rejected fragments of the projection of motion pictures from the analog era.

This event is a consequence of C. Alves PHD research on the appropriation of vernacular photographs in contemporary art. Its public presentation at CPF brings together sound artists Miguel Pipa and Mariana Sardon, with technical supervision by Helder Luís.

The original photographs included in this work were acquired or found in several countries, with no information at all on their origin, authorship or identity of the people depicted in them. We assume these images were lost because whoever they belonged to disappeared. If that is not the case, and this work is seen by someone who can identify and prove a relationship to the people in the pictures, or the one who made them, we will gladly identify them, respecting their authorship or return the originals.
